Cubs' Javier Baez: Scratched from Tuesday's lineup

Baez (heel) was removed from Tuesday's lineup against the Reds, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The 28-year-old was initially deemed good to go for Tuesday's contest after not starting Monday, but he apparently requires at least another day out of the lineup while his left heel recovers. Baez should be considered day-to-day for now, and the Cubs figure to provide an update on his condition no later than Wednesday afternoon. Nico Hoerner enters the lineup to play shortstop in his place.
